Why you will love Nectarine Sangria with Peaches and Plums

• Like my White Sangria Mocktail, this uses fresh summer fruits and is easy to make. 
• Enjoy in the warmer months (or any time of year). It’s great for summer parties with appetizers like my Spinach Feta Empanadas  and my Mediterrenean Steak Bites.  Or serve it with brunch along with my Breakfast Chorizo Paella with Bacon and Eggs or my Chicken and Seafood Paella.
• You can interchange with white wine or change up the fruits by using green grapes, fresh strawberries or cherries.

Ingredients:

Nectarines.

Peaches. Fresh peaches are best. I used white peaches in this but yellow peaches will work too. 

Plums.

Sparkling water. A plain flavor will work best. Soda water or club soda is a good alternative. 

Rosé wine. Rosé is delicious but dry white wine such as Sauvignon Blanc or Pinot Grigio.

Sugar. This creates a simple syrup with the fruit. 

Mint. To garnish.

How to Make Sparkling Nectarine Sangria with Peaches and Plums

1. Prepare the fruit:
Start by washing and slicing your ripe fruit—nectarines, white peaches, and plums. Place the sliced stone fruits into a medium sauce pan and add the sugar and 1/4 cup of water.  As the sugar dissolves, let the fruit cook down for about 15-20 minutes. When done, remove from the heat and set in the fridge for about 2 hours. 

2. Mix the wine and sparkling water:

In 2 large wine glasses, add ice cubes. Divide the cooked fruits and syrup between the glasses . Pour in 3 ounces of the rose and half the can of the sparkling water. 

3. Stir and Garnish:

Stir gently and top with fresh mint leaves.

Tips for the Perfect Nectarine Sangria:

• Use fresh fruit: Opt for the freshest summer fruit you can find. Ripe nectarines and peaches are essential for capturing that sweet, juicy flavor.
• Customize your sangria: Feel free to experiment with other fruits like strawberries, oranges or cherries. Nectarine sangria pairs wonderfully with a variety of fruits, so don’t be afraid to get creative.
• Make it ahead: Prepare the fruit the night before.  Just add the wine and sparkling water right before serving to maintain the bubbles.
• Serving in cooler months: This sangria can easily be adapted for the cooler months. Swap out the summer fruits for apples and pears, and use a red wine like a cabernet sauvignon to create a cozy, warm sangria for fall.

Serving suggestions

• Change up the fruits such as oranges, cherries, strawberries, black berries or apples.
• Peach nectar or orange juice can be mixed in. 
• To make this drink non-alcoholic, only use sparkling water.
• For a larger group, serve in a large pitcher or large punch bowl. 
• If using canned peaches or any canned fruit, you won’t need to cook the fruit or add additional sugar. 
• Peach liqueur or orange liqueur can be used. 
• For a stronger drink, Vodka can be added.
• Use prosecco instead of rosé and sparkling water.
